Punggol View uses Positive Education to build students' well-being through daily mindfulness, positive self-talk, and values like gratitude and hope.

Last updated 10 June 2026

Here in Punggol View, we believe in making a difference in the lives of every student. Through PosEd, we aim to develop the holistic well-being of each student based on Martin Seligman’s PERMAH model.

Six colored circles spell PERMAH, each representing a wellbeing element: Positive Emotions, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, Accomplishment, Health.

Every morning, students practise Positive Self-Talk and Mindful Breathing. These allows them to feel good about themselves and set their intentions for the day. Students explored their Character Strengths through online SLS lessons and were given platforms to showcase their strengths. They are also learning to use the Growth Mindset model to hone their Character Strengths.

To further drive PosEd, students will learn the values of Gratitude (P1-P2), Mindfulness (P3-P4) and Hope (P5-P6)
